He was outstanding, he is like Holman but with skill and goals in him.

We were brilliant today. As soon as Dunne comes in for Dunne we are laughing

His goals were great but his all round performance was awful. 
Great finish for the first though.

I thought he ran his bollocks off, and was easily our best player on the pitch.

I thought Benteke was the best , Weimann was frustrating before he scored but then he was very good , should have scored a hatrick to be fair , but like him in the team.

We need to remember he has hardly played any full games at this level and is still very inexperienced...

His confidence will be boosted with those goals and its good that all 3 forward players seem to be hitting the target recently , we could do with a few goals from midfield too.

Him and Hernandez were very similar yesterday. Neither defence had a clue how to mark them.

Weimann and benteke both have great movement and now gabby seems to have found some form I have come to accept that bent will probably go but if the front 3 continue as they are then lambert is fully justified.

It was just a shame he couldn't have scored a hat trick with that header either side of De Gea and it would have gone in.

He's looked pretty good for a while now, all that was missing was a goal (or two), it will do wonders for his confidence, and if he can couple good all round play, with a few goals, then it will make it that much harder for the manager to drop him. happy for the lad, i remember him barely being on the pitch in the europa league a few years ago in (austria wasn't it?) and him getting a really bad injury and being stretchered off.

He is very much a natural finisher and both his goals exemplified that. The first finish was very hard to do and a lot of players would have blazed it over the bar. The second was perfect strikers instinct to get in the position to score. He is going to be a top player and like Westwood, since he came into the first team in the 4-3-3, we have been a much much better side.

Thought all of the front three were excellent yesterday, each offers something different which as a combination is a nightmare to defend against.

They were two of best goals scored at VP in a long while. Brilliant build up and finishing. They give me great hope for the future. Well done Andreas, and well done PL for putting him there to do it!!

Thought his general play was poor when he was wide. When he came more central there was a massive improvement.

What I like is he always seems to hit the target.

Would like to see him in a 4-4-2 along side Benteke.

I wonder if he'll eventually play in the Ireland role,just off a forward,as he's got good movement,can ghost into position,and isn't afraid to get stuck in.

I wouldn't want to see him in a 4-4-2. The major reason we haven't been overrun in the last two games is that our formation allows us to switch from 4-3-3 when attacking, to 4-5-1 when defending.
